CARD-HOLDER.

SPECZFICATIONiOrming part of Letters Patent No. 323,598, dated August 4,1885.

Application filed October :13, 1894. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SOLOMON N. Rosnn- BAUM, of the city, county, andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCard-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved cardholder to be used on thedinner-table for festive occasions, so as to facilitate the placing ofguests; and the invention consists of a card-hoider made of a framehaving flanges to support the card, and a front opening to dis play thename on the card, and provided at the back with means to attach it to atumbler or other suitable support.

In the accompanying drawings,Figure 1 represents a front view of myimproved cardholder shown as attached to a tumbler. Fig. 2 is a detailview of the blank from which the holderis made. Fig. 3 representsarearview and horizontal section; Fig. 4, a vertical trans verse sectionof the attachment to thetumbler, and Fig. 5 a rear view and horizontalsection of a modified form of the holder.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A in the drawings, represents a card-holder for dinner parties which ispreferably made of sheet metal of ablank, B. (Shown in Fig. 2.) Thecardholder is made of an oblong, round, or other frame, which has anopening for dis playing the'name of the card. Three of the sides of thecard-holder are provided with flanges I) I), which are bent back to thebody of the holder, and serve to retain the card in the frame. Thefourth side of the frame is without a flange to insert the card. The

lower flange, I), is provided with an extension, I), that is madeintegral with the body of the frame, and bent in the shape of aho0k,which is applied over the edge of the tumbler, as shown in Fig. at.A tongue, (I, is cut out of the body of the extension I) and bent intoconvex shape, so as to give a certain degree of inclination to the cardwhen placed in position on the tumbler, as shown in Fig. 4.

In place of arranging the hook at the lower partof the frame,two of theside flanges may be extended toward each other and provided withspring-clasps b at the ends, so as to apply it to the shank of thetumbler, as shown in Fig. 5. Any other suitable means for supporting thecard-holder A on the tumbler or other support may be used, whereby thecard is more prominently exhibited, so that the guests can more readilyfind their places at the table. The card is thereby prominently broughtto view, and not covered, as is he quentl y the case with the cards ingeneral use.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desi re to secureby Letters Patent- A card-holder consisting of a sheetmetal frame havingguide-flanges to support the card, and of springs arranged at the backof the frame and made integral therewith, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in pres ence of two subscribing witnesses.
